Feature Request: Add Advanced Session Management Commands (Claude Code Parity)

Summary

I propose adding a set of advanced session management commands to OpenCode that are currently available in Claude Code. These commands would significantly improve developer productivity and workflow management.

Desired Features

1. /rewind (or /checkpoint)

• Purpose: Rewind conversation and/or code to a previous checkpoint
• Functionality:
  • Restore both conversation history and code changes to a specific point
  • Option to rewind only conversation (keep code changes) or only code (keep conversation)
  • Support for selective rollback with auto-checkpoints
• Use case: Experiment with different approaches without losing progress; recover from mistakes

2. /insights

• Purpose: Generate usage analytics report
• Functionality:
  • Analyze session patterns, costs, tool usage, and productivity metrics
  • Generate HTML/Markdown report with visualizations
  • Track trends over time (weekly/monthly)
• Use case: Identify workflow inefficiencies and optimize AI-assisted development

3. /simplify

• Purpose: Code quality review and simplification
• Functionality:
  • Multi-agent review pipeline (architecture, duplication, performance)
  • Focus on recently changed files
  • Actionable suggestions for code improvement
• Use case: Pre-commit code quality check, technical debt reduction

4. /fork (or /branch)

• Purpose: Branch conversation session
• Functionality:
  • Create independent session branch from current point
  • Preserve original session while exploring alternatives
  • Easy switching between branches
• Use case: Parallel exploration of different solutions

5. /loop

• Purpose: Automated task execution
• Functionality:
  • Execute commands on intervals (e.g., /loop 5m check build status)
  • Background monitoring and automation
  • Integration with CI/CD workflows
• Use case: Continuous monitoring, automated testing, repetitive tasks

6. /remote-control (or /rc)

• Purpose: Remote session management
• Functionality:
  • Control session from web interface (claude.ai equivalent)
  • Monitor long-running tasks remotely
  • Send instructions and receive updates
• Use case: Monitor overnight builds, collaborate remotely

7. Enhanced /export

• Purpose: Advanced session export capabilities
• Functionality:
  • Multiple formats (Markdown, JSON, HTML)
  • Selective export (specific message ranges)
  • Include file changes and tool execution history
• Use case: Documentation, handovers, debugging session history

Benefits

1. Productivity: Reduce context switching and improve workflow efficiency
2. Safety: Better recovery mechanisms and experimentation capabilities
3. Insights: Data-driven optimization of AI-assisted development
4. Collaboration: Improved sharing and remote work capabilities
5. Parity: Feature parity with industry-leading tools (Claude Code)

Implementation Considerations

• Could leverage existing custom command system with built-in optimizations
• May require session state management enhancements
• Consider performance impact for long-running sessions
• Integration with existing /undo, /redo, /compact commands

Additional Context

These features represent proven functionality in Claude Code that has shown significant value to developers. Many of these (like /rewind with selective rollback) solve critical workflow challenges that aren't addressed by simple undo/redo mechanisms.

Prior Art

• Claude Code's checkpointing and rewind system
• Custom command system already in OpenCode
• Existing session management commands (/undo, /redo, /compact)

Thank you for considering these enhancements. These features would substantially improve OpenCode's value proposition for professional developers working on complex projects.
